The quiz guesses.
The stylist charges $400.

Colour analysis has lived at two extremes for decades. A quiz app that asks you to describe yourself and returns a vague answer. A human analyst who charges $400 an hour and sees you once. Atelier is what neither delivers: the accuracy of a trained analyst, available every morning, for the price of a coffee a week.

Example response

“OMG bestie, black is SO not your colour 💅 soft summer queens glow in muted tones!! Try mauve instead ✨”

“Black is not within your seasonal palette. We recommend more harmonious selections from your Summer palette.”

“Yes — but as punctuation, not a foundation. A black blazer over Petal Pink reads well; head-to-toe black pulls the warm colour out of your face.”

— Claude Sonnet · 0.8s

From open to season,
in ninety seconds.

One selfie in soft, natural light. Atelier reads your undertone, value, and chroma — the three variables that define your colour season — and places you in one of twelve sub-seasons with your full palette and reasoning.

01

The selfie

One photo in soft natural light. No filter, no quiz. The vision model reads undertone, value, and chroma directly from your face.

02

The analysis

Claude reads your selfie against all 12 seasons. Under six seconds, no sliders, no guessing — the same axes a trained analyst uses.

03

Your season

One precise sub-season — Soft Autumn, not just Autumn. Six anchor colours, 12 secondary, 4 to avoid. Each one with a reason.

Am I a Soft Autumn? How to know for sure.

The most searched season in colour analysis — and the most misidentified. A guide that should have existed three years ago.

Why 'pop of colour' is bad advice.

“This is the first colour app I've used that gives me a result I can actually act on the same morning.”
— Beta tester feedback
The first one that actually reads well.

Nothing in the category reads this well at a screenshot. I sent the result card to my group chat and three of them downloaded it within an hour.

Saved me from a hundred bad buys.

The scanner is what sold me. I open it in the dressing room every time now. Returned an entire Net-a-Porter order last week.

Anika R.LA · Founder
A stylist in my pocket.

I asked it what to wear to a wedding in Capri. It came back with three options from my own closet that I would never have put together.

Theodora L.London · Writer
Better than my $400 session.

I did a real colour analysis two years ago. This is more precise, more useful, and I can re-shoot when my hair changes. The voice is what closed it.

Built on the model
that actually sees you.

The numbers that matter to you — how fast, how many, how precisely. The rest is restraint.

≤ 6s

From selfie to your season name.

Under six seconds from capture to result. No loading screen, no quiz to fill in while you wait. Your season, the moment the analysis completes.

12

Sub-seasons, not four.

The difference between Soft Summer and Cool Summer is real — and it changes what you wear. Atelier places you in one of twelve, not one of four.

22

Colours in your complete palette.

Six anchor colours you build around. Twelve secondary colours that extend them. Four to avoid — with the reason why. Not a mood board. A working tool you can use before you buy anything.

Asked,
answered.

If you have a longer list, the Stylist chat answers styling questions after sign-up.

Is this another colour quiz?+

No. A quiz asks you to describe yourself — your hair colour, your eye colour, how you tan. Atelier reads those measurements directly from a selfie using a vision model, the same way a trained analyst would look at you. The result is a working tool, not a personality type.

What is the difference between Pro and Stylist?+

Pro gives you everything you need to know your palette and use it while shopping or scanning your wardrobe. Stylist adds an AI stylist — an ongoing conversational layer that knows your season, your closet, and your preferences. It answers questions like 'what should I wear to this dinner' or 'build me a capsule wardrobe for a week in Copenhagen'. If you dress yourself every day and want real input, Stylist is the one.

How accurate is the analysis?+

The model reads three measurements from a single selfie: undertone (warm/cool/neutral), value (light/medium/deep), and chroma (bright/muted). These are the same axes a trained analyst uses. It maps your result against the 12-season system developed by Kathryn Kalisz and used by professional stylists since the 1980s. About 4% of users end up in a different adjacent season on a re-shoot — those who do are almost always between two neighbouring seasons, not contradictory ones.

Can I re-do my analysis?+

Yes, unlimited times on Pro and Stylist. Different light, different angle, post-colour-treatment. Your most recent result is your active palette. The main thing that changes seasons is a significant change to hair colour — a shift from cool ash blonde to warm golden brown can move you between families.

What happens when I cancel?+

Your season, your palette, and your result card stay in the app. The wardrobe scanner, stylist chat, and Weekly Edit go quiet. Resubscribe and everything comes back exactly where you left it — your saved items, your conversations, your outfit history.

Does Atelier work for all skin tones?+

Yes. The 12-season system was designed to work across the full range of human skin tones — from Fitzpatrick Type 1 through Type 6. The analysis is built around undertone, value, and chroma, not around light or dark skin. We test the model continuously across the full distribution of skin tones, ethnicities, and lighting conditions.

Your colours,
made for you.

One selfie. Ninety seconds. Your full 12-season analysis, your palette, and a working wardrobe tool — from $4.99 a week.
